Killing and The Psychological Cost.

[montefortino]

In those days, crucifying,torturing,killing was a "normal" way of life.. picture a legion in a barbarian land : the only way to survive was to kill; nothing to compare with nowdays guilt feeling,media coverage or analysis of what one's thought is to squash a fly..same in the medieval days where religion was one of the reason for killing..
In a lot of parts of the muslim countries the use of a blade is still "normal"...they have to bleed their animals in order to eat the meat..matter of habit...
